Queen Latifah’s cape was a moment all its own. It was tailored perfection, adding what some might even call a little too much. Paired with her velvet dress, it oozed main-character energy, creating a literal fabric halo and spotlight around the rap icon. The queen’s silk press was flawless. Her signature blonde hair was smooth, shiny, and not a strand out of place. Her makeup brought soft glam energy with radiant skin, warm eyeshadow, and a subtle nude lip that kept the entire look elegant. But – of course – she didn’t have just one style moment.  She had two.

Regina King brought soft glamour in a silky champagne Elie Saab gown with sculptural draping that shaped her silhouette beautifully. The structured satin jacket added polished drama while keeping the look timeless. Her long braids, glowing complexion, and soft glam makeup tied everything together. Give us all the looks, Ms. King!

2. Leomie Anderson

Leomie Anderson is giving the girls deep chocolate realness and we love it. Looking like pure art, she rocks a sculpted gown with dramatic ruching and a bold neckline. The flow of the fabric made every step feel like a runway moment. Sleek hair and glowing makeup kept the attention right where it belonged—on the dress.

3. Lori Harvey

Lori Harvey shut the carpet down in a golden, voluminous strapless dress cinched with a bold black ribbon. The gorgeous gown is from Zuhair Murad SS25 Couture. Then, she added sheer opera gloves for a vintage-meets-modern twist that felt very Lori. Her soft waves, glossy nude lip, and minimalist makeup kept the look polished and chic.

4. Tyra Banks

Tyra Banks continues to remind the world she is the ultimate supermodel. The ANTM creator wore a black gown topped with a gold molded corset that instantly commanded attention. The sculpted shoulder drape added couture-level drama. Finger blonde waves, bold eyeliner, and a nude lip tied the entire look together with old-Hollywood energy. We see you, Tyra!

5. Sabrina Elba

Sabrina Elba will forever be the queen of “sleek and sophisticated.” She attended the Fashion Trust Arabia 2025 Award Ceremony in a long-sleeve, off the shoulder black gown that showed off her melanin and collar bone. She swept up her hair in a slightly messy updo, and kept her makeup bronzy and golden. A silver necklace and strappy shoe combo completed her chic look.
